So Inti Creates made a very fantastic 8-bit version of the upcoming Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night akin to the NES Castlevania games, particularly the third one, and for something unlocked from a Kickstarter goal, it's impressive with how much you can get out of it. Definitely a worthwhile experience to get into if you want a Metroidvania fix lol.

However, I bring this up because as an interesting power-up you get with Alfred, you get an ice arrow that fully freezes enemies for one-hit kills or bosses for a free hit. And it's pretty interesting to see how they differ, where enemies seems to get frozen enough to be in a block of ice, bosses get icicles. Suppose it shows how resistance foes can be against the cold.

Would be nice, but as far as I know, they're the only female characters aside from a bunny girl swap for what I think is a lion girl. And the final boss of the original mode, but no playthrough I've seen has someone with the ice arrow for her, and even if they did, I don't know if she'd somehow be immune to it given her size.
